I have been planning for some time to update the Liberator D kits.
And I have been doing that for a couple of weeks now.
Time to redraw the file...clean up the artwork...make some modifications.
And there is a need to update my "Lady be good" kit.
A couple of weeks back I received communication from someone who had some issues with my model.
Most specifically two things...the name plate on the right side of the cockpit and the overall colour of the plane.
I have since discovered another photo of LBG that reveals more information about the painted name on the aircraft
...and I see the need to make some changes.
The colour change however, I was not as quick to agree to.
I put a lot of thought and time into the first colour I used on LBG and didn't agree with the "more pink" request.
After some reflection, I decided to go through the process again (of picking a colour for LBG and other North African based Libs).
And I have come up with a slightly different colour this time (than my original choice).
So this raises the question of whether others might agree with me.
Since I have a bunch of colour swtches already created, I decided to add some commentary
and present everything to you in one PDF that you can view
...its a normal optimized PDF at about 700kb in size.
(so its a little too big to atatch here)
Please, take a look at the PDF...feel free to print it out if you want to see how colours print...but let me know what you think.
I'd like to be sure before I release the updated model.

The question of other Liberators painted in a sand/beige/tan colour is a whole other question.
This topic refers to those aircraft deemed as "pink".
